The head of the United Nations health agency has strongly denounced the recent deadly attack on a hospital in Sudan. The incident took place in the town of Zalingei, located in the war-torn Darfur region, on Tuesday morning.
According to reports, unidentified armed individuals stormed the hospital, killing several patients and medical staff members. The attackers also set parts of the facility on fire before fleeing the scene. The exact number of casualties is yet to be confirmed, as authorities are still assessing the situation.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), condemned the assault, labeling it as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. He expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and called for a swift investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear, with no group claiming responsibility so far. The hospital, supported by the WHO, was providing vital healthcare services to the local community, which has been grappling with the consequences of the long-standing conflict in the region.
The Sudanese government has vowed to track down the assailants and ensure that such a tragic incident does not happen again. Meanwhile, the WHO has reiterated its commitment to supporting healthcare facilities in conflict-affected areas and called for the protection of medical personnel and patients in accordance with international law.
